Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Yes it is true, discovery of such a speech is there for a long time atleast 6 -7 years. If I remember correct, Chinmaya mission devotee once told me that such a speech is available with them. The point is, our literature of our ashram is enough to carry the message. thanks Jai sri ramakrishna siva Siva Muthuswamy, Dr Meier's Lab, Dept. of Plant Biology The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43201 USA >Ramakrishna >Ramakrishna >Ramakrishna >[sri Ramakrishna] Digest Number 2037 >13 Mar 2005 16:00:25 -0000 > > > >There are 2 messages in this issue. > >Topics in this digest: > > 1.
